It's a £1 shop not Harrods, don't expect top quality when your paying a £1 for anything these days! If he's had them 3 years and most are still working and coped with the British climate all this time then that can't be bad even more so at £1 a punt.

When I first moved to the UK, poundland was one of the few shop I could afford to visit as things were so expensive. Unfortunately the drought at home has had a knock on effect with prices skyrocketing everywhere and now the UK seems reasonably priced compared to Oz.

I got some of these last year. OK, so they're not amazing and don't give out much light, but they spent all year in the garden and they still work.
If you're on a budget and just want to mark the edge or a path or flower bed, they're ideal.

there's nothing wrong with these lights, we bought some to use when camping to mark pegs so no one tripped over out tent and woke us up......they are fine, we have them marking the border in garden now until our next camping trip........great value for money..

Can never see the point of Garden Solar Lights, The time that they would be of most use is in the winter,When there is not enough light in the day to charge them:thinking:. The old Ashtray and Motorbike saying springs to mind,or just good advertising, the way Nestle advertise the fact that they sell you Air when the buy an Aero Bar, and then advertise that they are gonna sell you more Air and even less chocolate because it now has even more bubbles, now that it what I call genius selling.

Yeah nice comment on the Aero Bar. They think we are all idiots these tricksters. Although the fact is most of us are. :roll:

As several have already said, they are useful for marking out a path. I use them to light up a couple of steps and they do the job.
Saying that, the next door neighbours have at least a dozen scattered around their garden and serve no real purpose. But then they have $&^* for brains.

Well, it wasn't for the weather, even though the 'big snow' last year was fantastic, I'd love to see more of that. It's nice to have a more changeable season than in Melb. Even though it does go minus overnight in the winter time there but rarely would it snow, I think once in the last 57 years in the city, but there's plenty of snow up in the alps and skiing is a big industry.

To answer your question, work. But life here is quite good, just different to at home. I know everyone has this idea that life in Australia is all roses but basically it's not much different to here just a few more sunnier days and a lot less rain, which causes other problems.
